Related to a picture ascribed to Francesco Botticini, Altarpiece, "The Assumption of the Virgin". The painting was commissioned by Matteo Palmieri sometime between 1466 and 1472 for the Palmieri Chapel in S. Pier Maggiore, Florence. Originally ordered from Botticelli, it was finally executed mainly by Botticini. The representation of Christ blessing in the drawing corresponds well with the picture.
